Coronavirus lockdown

I honestly dont know what they thinking. They lifted the lockdown lvl or lowered it or whatever, which means certain none essential services are allowed to do bussiness again but at the same time implement a curfew law. makes no sense. I got arrested yesterday because of this. Utter BS.

no offense but our government is a zoo

What do you think about
Government's ban on cigarette sales during COVID-19?

Finally built my new PC after a few teething problems. It's a bloody monster. From pressing the power button to booting is around 4/5 seconds.

What you gonna use that beast for?

I got my setup running too, it boots just as fast as yours lol but then anything with a decent SSD will boot in seconds.

Built out a new box with an i5 + 16GB RAM + 1TB SSD because the outdated i3 wasn't cutting it.

Got RGB everything too. RGB speakers and RGB keyboard. Can't wait to drop acid and blast out music on that with the lights blaring and music videos playing in 4K.
 
PC chat? Finally.

I'm rocking a 2600x and a 5700xt with 1440 144 Hz. The monitor is a TN panel as I want the fast response time for online shooters. I got a Evo SSD about a year ago and immediately regretted not getting one sooner.

Think the WHO gave him enough praise on that lol. I personally dont like it but it also doesnt really effect me as im a social/recreational smoker. Plus this is south africa, look hard enough and bets are you willl get. The booze thing pisses me off the most. There are thousands of alcoholics suffering now rich and poor and some of them can get help and others not. Cape town they apparently helping the alcoholics that live on the street that are going through DT's and WD's and other issues. But what about the rest. Anyhow, rambling im baked. Oh and back to your original question, yesterday when i went to by rolling paper they even denied me that at the shops.

Eyyy nerds unite!

Mine's not a gaming rig but I do like to spec up my own machines. As for the display I wanted a 4K monitor. It is a TN 60Hz panel because it allowed me to get 4K resolution for a very cheap price... and because most monitors are out of stock right now, else I may have paid a bit extra for a fancy Samsung OLED. And mostly I'm using it to consume media content so I don't need high refresh rates. TN is absolutely fine tbh, not great viewing angles but it's a monitor, I stare directly at it. To be honest I paid under £250 for a 4K screen and I'm chuffed with it.

I do also have it plugged into my Xbox One so I'll do a little gaming on it as well but I'll try that out this weekend. Reason I use an Xbone instead of building out an actual gaming rig is I am just a filthy casual haha. I play some Forza occasionally, and sometimes a few random other titles, but that's it. Actually I do have Watchdogs and I've been meaning to give that a go, think I will tomorrow.

Oh and yeah once you go SSD you cannot ever go back! My Xbox still has an old clunky HDD in it and holy fuck it's slow loading up and the noise it makes annoys the shit out of me. I am tempted to rip out the HDD and put an SSD in there, need to look up how easy that is to do on one of these... and how would I reinstall the OS?
 
You can save games on a SSD for the Xbox instead of the internal HDD which I am told does make a difference to loading times in games. I have a Xbox One myself but there is a problem with the CD tray which emits a high pitched screeching after a while, so it's not used much now.
 
There's not been a lockdown here. No deaths either.

Yet we had daily flights from Wuhan until 6 weeks ago.

I've been sharing spliffs with half the world. Even swapped bodily fluids here and there and I'm in rude good health.

I fuckin hope I catch it. Then I'll go visit the mother in law (mid 70s, COPD) and gob in her face.

Give it a fortnight and the wife can collect her inheritance... :sneaky:

Further to this, we've found out today that my daughter has tested positive! She was due to start a new job but the starting date has been delayed until further notice because of this shit storm, so she took a temporary job in a care home. Did 5 days work, got tested, came back positive. So we're all now in quarantine for 2 weeks.

When my MIL was informed of this earlier, her first response was "oh, perhaps Fubz will be able to cut my lawn now seeing as he's off work".

Ya just can't make this shit up...
 
god your MIL sounds insane fubz- what about quarantine doesn't she understand? i'm guessing she's of an age where she'd be at serious rsk if she caught it yet she still wants you to do her chores?

i really hope you are your family are all OK. though tbh if your MIL contracts it i may feel like there is at least some justice in the world.

Yeh. This is the narcissistic bitch that chose to stay with her second husband even though she knew he was sexually abusing her three daughters - because he looked after her! He died a few year ago, on the commode with his pants around his ankles. I was the first at the scene after the MIL and had to drag him onto the bed and make him 'decent'. Must admit to having a smile on my face as I was doing so. Its ironic that the dirty bastard died with his cock still out...
 
fffuuuuccckkk me! bitch! i've known a couple of people who were the children in that situation, with major drugs problems cos they couldn't cope. don't understand how at all you can let any child go through that, let alone your own child.

ffs my mum has volunteered to do stuff for VE day, take cream teas round to isolated people, and for some reason thinks i want to take time out of all the nothing i've got planned to help her. jingoistic bullshit. my dad has moral objections to VE day in the UK cos at that time we were refusing to take refugees from concentration camps (who i'm directly descended from) and had just sold out poland to stalin.

Keep your daughter under a really warm blanket for a few days. Then put it over MIL's head when she's asleep. Be grand.

Seriously though, hopefully you all just stay asymptomatic, as the vast majority do, with no complication and a fast recovery.
 
true true WIlson. i don't mean no disrespect to those guys, i just think it comes across as a bit brexity these days and it doesn't sit well with my dad. so, his dad was rounded up for katyn massacre, escaped off the train. all his mates told him not to cos he'd get shot. they got shot. he survived, took 2 years to cross europe as a fugitive from the soviets and reported back to the polish army when it was based in London cos poland didn't actually exist at that time. he then won the virtuti miltari, the polish equivalent to the victoria cross. that was in the battle of the falaise gap, also known as hill 262 or corridor of death (i believe its a level in some version off call of duty). this battle was instrumental in the success of the DDay landings because it cut off a large amount of the german army. so i understand the sacrifices that people made, he never recovered, he was an alcoholic and gambling addict for the rest of his life.

my grandmother ended up on her own in krakow as a young teenager after her mum was taken by the stasi for black market trading (only way you could really surive at that time), her dad was already off fighting at the front. she made her way to the UK across europe to a family friend who was supposed to help her. she arrived in this country not owning the clothes on her back. she was sexually abused by her protector and ended up a prostitute and addicted to stimulants to keep herself slim for the rest of her life. at the end of the war, she went to find her mum at Belsen. her mum had survived the death march to belsen (i forget the name of the first camp she was sent to), quickly contracted TB and had her last rites read to her twice. my grandmother spent 2 days looking through bodies desperately trying to find her mum, and eventually forced herself into a hut she'd been told no one was in. it was a psychiatric hut and my great grandmother was in a catatonic state.

my grandparents, despite their personal horrors during the war, were never made to feel welcome in this country. my grandfather couldn't go back to soviet poland because according to the soviets he was supposed to be buried in the katyn forest with the other 22k polish officers, academics, etc. so i will pay my respects to them and everyone else who sacrificed, especially poles who lost a full fifth of their countrymen then were sold out by roosevelt, churchill and stalin at yalta, but i can forgive my dad for feeling that its a bit hollow when we as a country could have actually treated his parents and his country with respect while they were alive.

i got out of my mums volunteering by being asleep.
